Interesting contrast:

In X-men, Bobby Drake asks Rogue her name, gets 'Rogue', then asks her 'what's your real name', and gets back 'Marie.'

In X2, Magneto asks St. John his name, gets 'John', and then asks 'what's your real name', and gets back 'Pyro'.

Those two scenes, as I think about it, really show the contrast between the two sides better than anything else can.

You're right, it really does. It's a simple small little detail, but it says a lot about the mindsets going on.

/mutters quietly to herself about how that isn't Rouge's real name.

Right.

Yes.

I'm done now

I repeat one of my earlier statements. If the movies were exactly what we wanted, the mundanes probably wouldn't watch them.

Females would watch them with lust in their eyes if they added Remy and did him right =P


Who needs mundanes anyway?

I cannot and will not argue Remy LeBeau's power to weaken the knees of women from intercontinental ranges. :D

Past that, the mundanes have their uses, and their lives. And more importantly, thick wads of cash, so let's not write them off too quickly, mm?

Personally, I think it's nice that people who do not follow the X-Men universe religiously (y'know, people like me) can watch the movies and not feel lost or overwhelmed.

Oh, and for the record, I think Nightcrawler is much cuter than Gambit. :)
